Journey to Simulation-driven Design with Litens Automotive
Litens engineers have used simulation for many years to solve challenging engineering problems. Despite investments in simulation tools, methods, and high-performance computing (HPC), achieving up-front simulation-driven design was out of reach. Litens engineers recognized that their ability to solve advanced structural problems was limited by their existing simulation strategy. This webinar explores how Litens overcame these limitations, and their journey to simulation-driven design with Altair.
The following topics will be covered:
-Choice of methods to solve quasi-static structural problems: implicit vs. explicit
-Technical merits and challenges associated with each method and business outcomes
-How Litens engineers leveraged the Altair Unlimited Physical appliance, a turnkey, fully managed HPC cluster utilizing RADIOSS, a high performance explicit dynamic solver
-One engineer’s testimonial about the decisions taken and its impact on their design/development processes, simulation throughput, and overall competitiveness

Superior CAE Productivity with HPC Appliances from Altair and Intel
High-performance computing (HPC) has emerged as an essential technology in modern design and development environments. Driven by increased competitive pressures, manufacturers increasingly compete based on their computer-aided engineering (CAE) and HPC infrastructure environments.
Deploying and managing HPC infrastructure is challenging, however. HPC clusters are complex and costly to deploy and require specialized skills across multiple domains to manage and maintain them effectively. As a result, engineering teams can spend much of their time managing the HPC environment rather than focusing on more productive work. This can lead to higher costs and longer design cycles due to reduced productivity.
This paper will explore this dilemma and explain how turnkey HPC appliances from Altair and Intel can dramatically simplify HPC cluster deployment and management. It will show how the Altair Unlimited™ appliance powered by state-of-the-art Intel® Xeon® processors can reduce simulation time, reduce costs, and improve overall productivity and efficiency.

The Keys to Scalable, Cost-Effective CFD Investment
Fluid mechanics simulation is a critical tool for late-stage failure risk mitigation, as well as a driver of design insights throughout the product development process. Used across all levels of product design and validation, from design engineers seeking to understand fluid and thermal effects on a design proposal to analysts performing advanced aerodynamic modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) serves a broad array of applications and a range of users with varied levels of expertise. The sometimes complex and computationally intensive nature of CFD necessitates careful consideration of the software and hardware investments required to produce accurate solutions and scale them at the speed of a company’s development process.

High-performance Computing Speeds Up Optimization Processes for Tailor Rolled Blanks at Mubea
OEMs and suppliers include every possible technique to support lightweighting in the automotive industry. It is common to use optimization techniques in order to identify and tab existing lightweight potentials as well as design tailor rolled components in a vehicle, the design optimization of which is normally based on crash simulations. Due to the large size of these simulations, a single run can take 1 to 12 hours. To conduct all the simulation runs needed for assessment and evaluation of different design concepts, the use of HPC is necessary. HWUL- VA was able to reduce the turnaround time for a lightweight study significantly at Mubea.
